As it's been in my glass for about 30 minutes, the aromatic intensity is getting even stronger. I can pick up scents with the glass near my chest! Banana is coming through on the nose and it's also gaining more body. Good acidity, soft tannin, complex flavor; drinking well now. I will likely drink a second bottle soon instead of aging.

Last night I found a nondescript 2009 gamay from Cote Roannaise hidden on a shelf.
Acidity and fruit fading a bit, but it was still juicy, gulp-able, and fun. At 11% alc, perhaps it was a bit too gulpable

I have two accounts- this 'anonymous' username for commenting, as well as a 'purchasing' account which is my real name. Apologies for the white box on the left.

Also, in the interest of full disclosure- I'm ITB, selling wine for a living. None of my wines have ever been featured on Woot though, so don't fear the shilling.

Tonight is Wellington 2002 Syrah with slow cooked back ribs.

I believe it was around $125. I didn't realize it was such a highly rated wine.

I need to be careful when I order from him. It's easy to say 1 bottle here, 2 there, 3 for that, etc. Then, come spring or fall, there's a few cases that show up. Also, he has such a way with words. He's quite a salesman.
